Unveiling Plant Distress: Symptomatic Manifestations of Insect Infestation in Bukit Kor, Terengganu
Keywords:
Insect infestation, Plant symptoms, Bukit Kor, TerengganuAbstract
Insect infestations pose a significant threat to plant health and agricultural productivity. Early and accurate identification of symptoms is crucial for effective management strategies. This article investigates the diverse symptomatic manifestations of insect infestation on various plant species in Bukit Kor, Terengganu, Malaysia. By examining morphological changes, growth abnormalities, and patterns of damage, this study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of how plants signal the presence of insect pests. Understanding these visual cues is vital for timely intervention, mitigating economic losses, and preserving biodiversity within the region. The findings contribute to local agricultural practices and entomological knowledge.
